Chapter 114 Bandit Pan, let's go! The cabinet ministers and ministers all went out of the city to kill the enemy and made great contributions!
Pan Ruzhen looked back, and saw the emperor Tianqi on the opposite side, leading a large number of officers and soldiers to kill him.
"this…"
"who I am?"
"Why am I here?"
Pan Ruzhen couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was real for a while.
After Zhang Gui saw Tianqi leading the officers and soldiers of the imperial guard battalion rushing over, he immediately decided not to practice arrows on the city wall, but immediately ordered: "Your Majesty's army has arrived, all the soldiers will go out of the city to kill the enemy!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Gui and Man Gui went down the city wall first, and then killed them after the city gate was wide open.
The troops brought by Pan Ruzhen are not at all the opponents of Mangui's troops who stayed in the imperial city.
What's more, Mangui's subordinates, including the entire inner court, had already known the news that the emperor had returned to Beijing in advance, so no one dared to act rashly.
Now that Pan Ruzhen is able to attack the city outside, it is only because Zhang Gui and others deliberately did not go out of the city to face the battle, and created a defense of the city.
After all, if Pan Ruzhen is easily beaten back, how can the emperor see that people like himself are trying their best to defend the city.
Pan Ruzhen originally wanted to make a great contribution, but instead he became the one who made the great contribution.
Pan Ruzhen not only gave Zhang Gui, Man Gui and others the merit of defending the city, but also gave the civil and military ministers who had not yet kneeled down to meet them the merit of countering the rebellion.
Not all officials chose to kneel to meet the rebels before this.
Among the officials who did not do this, they either supported the reform, or they were ready to sacrifice their lives to report to the king to keep their integrity, or they were cautious enough to really dare not make a rash choice.
Now seeing that Tianqi has led the army back, and Zhang Gui and others rushed out of the imperial city to encircle and wipe out the rebels, these civil and military ministers also grabbed chairs, town rulers and even folding fans from the yamen and rushed towards Pan Ruzhen and his soldiers and horses .
After all, at this time, if you don’t take the opportunity to participate in the killing of the enemy, beat the dog in the water, and make a contribution to the suppression of the rebellion and rebellion, when will you have such an opportunity?
"Kill the enemy!"
These civil and military ministers are all shouting.
No one is still sitting calmly in the Yamen.
Even the old ministers such as the cabinet and the six ministers came to kill the enemy.
When rushing to kill the enemy, the old ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers were obviously not as fast as the young officials, so it seemed that their enthusiasm for killing the enemy and suppressing the rebellion was not as high as that of the young officials.
University scholar Zhu Guozuo was so angry because of this at this time, he panted and said to Zhou Yingqiu, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "These younger generations don't know how to respect the elders, and they ran in front of us to grab credit!"
Zhou Yingqiu also said: "Yes! How disgusting, these young people are obviously bullying us old people so we can't run fast!"
"The old man really can't run, Otsuka Zai, how about you help the old man to kill the enemy?"
Zhu Guozuo said at this time.
Zhou Yingqiu pretended not to hear, and kept walking, shouting hoarsely: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
"Old guy! I'm at odds with you!"
After Zhu Guozuo finished cursing, he could only watch Zhou Yingqiu walk away from him, and he could only continue to stagger forward and shout: "Kill the enemy!"
"Pan Thief! Don't go!"
Zhang Gui, under the guard of Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan, was the first to break out of the city gate.
However, because there are too few Panbu rebels who are truly fighting, Zhang Gui actually didn't kill a single person except for Man Gui's fast speed and agility who killed a few rebels.
But the rebels splashed the most blood on Zhang Gui, because Man Gui consciously cut the throat of the rebels, creating the appearance of his uncle Zhang Gui fighting in blood.
However, at this moment, Zhang Gui heard shouts coming from behind.
Zhang Gui looked back, but it was the Lang Yanguan of the Sixth Division who, relying on his youth, had already caught up with Zhang Gui and wanted to compete with Zhang Gui and others.
Generally, the speakers of the six subjects are selected from those who have just entered the official career, so most of them are relatively young.
"The spokesperson of Gou Ri wants to take credit!"
Seeing this, Zhang Gui had no choice but to speed up and rush forward.
At this time, these civil servants were indeed rushing fast, especially the young civil servants, who were unwilling to let go of this opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.
But the soldiers and horses brought by Pan Ruzhen are really limited, and now that Tianqi has returned with his army, many of them are already fleeing, and even Pan Ruzhen is frantically running to the two wings, so the number of rebels is really enough for so many civil servants and generals Obviously not enough.
Because Zhang Gui rushed out first, and he had practiced before, and Man Gui was not good at competing with him, and other young civil servants were still weaker than him in physical strength, so Pan Ruzhen, the first criminal who attacked the imperial city, was still the first to be chased by him. arrive.
When Pan Ruzhen fled to one side, Zhang Gui chased after him, kicked Pan Ruzhen to the ground, and then shot Pan Ruzhen's chrysanthemum with the pistol in his hand. When Pan Ruzhen screamed, he also Hastily pulled out the knife and pressed it against Pan Ruzhen's neck: "Pan thief, don't move!"
At the same time, Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan each captured a conductor.
"Pan Thief, don't go!"
The young civil servants also caught up at this time.
And Zhang Gui picked up the pistol, and said to these civil officials who wanted to grab credit: "Don't come here!"
These civil servants had no choice but to **** the corpses of the rebels who had already been killed on the ground, and because they had no weapons, they had to reach out and grab the throats of these corpses, pretending to kill the enemy.
But because too few thieves were caught and killed, there were not enough points, so the civil servants who caught up had a dispute.
"Let go of that thief, let me do it!"
"Let him go, I killed him!"
"Fart, I killed it!"
…
After Zhou Yingqiu, Zhu Guozuo and other veterans caught up, there was no corpse to snatch.
Zhu Guozuo had no choice but to fool a young official: "Li Guijian, you give him to the servant, and the servant promises that you will be promoted to three ranks within five years!"
Zhou Yingqiu was also fooling another young official: "There is still a vacancy for the head of the Wenxuan Department! Give this corpse to the hall, and this vacancy is yours!"
But these young civil servants are all Jinshi backgrounds, and they are not stupid, so they naturally quit.
After all, this is a once-in-a-century feat of killing the enemy and countering the rebellion!
Moreover, it is the great feat of killing the enemy and suppressing the rebellion of guarding the imperial city, guarding the crown prince and the ancestral temple. It can be said that it is rare in a hundred years.
After Tian Qi saw that Zhang Gui and many civil servants and generals had rushed out, he stood on his horse and did not come again, especially after seeing Zhu Guozuo and other veterans coming out to kill the enemy and put down the rebellion, he did not come, but dismounted , deliberately sighed: "I didn't expect my Ming Dynasty to have so many loyal ministers! Even veteran ministers like the old ministers of the pavilion, a handful of old bones that are about to fall apart, came out to suppress the rebellion and kill the enemy!"
Immediately, Tian Qi looked at Li Zuye and the others: "Aren't you ashamed!"
Li Zuye and others were quite helpless: "We just made a mistake in judgment!"
Pan Ruzhen is now enduring the severe pain in his buttocks, and he wants to cry without tears. He really didn't expect this ending, and thought: "It would be nice if I didn't come to attack the imperial city. A fart for defending the city!"
"Kill the enemy!"
While Pan Ruzhen was thinking about this, Wei Zhongxian, Han Yu and others also rushed over, shouting to kill the enemy.
Wei Zhongxian and Han Yu were the last to come because they were always on duty in Xiyuan, and the gate of the imperial city was farthest from here.
But the two of them and the **** Jin Yiwei who came with them were also full of fighting spirit, showing loyalty, bravery and fearlessness.
This scene made Pan Ruzhen even more depressed.
Ministers such as Li Chunye and Xu Xigao who were arrested for kneeling to welcome the rebels were also very depressed.
Some people are depressed, while others are happy.
Han Yan and Wei Zhongxian who rushed over, as well as Zhu Guozuo and other ministers who had already been here, were very happy.
Especially Zhu Guozuo, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself to repay the king, but he didn't expect that he would finally rush to the gate of the imperial city to kill the enemy and put down the rebellion before Yuan Fu Han Yu.
Zhu Guozuo is already imagining that when he retires and returns home to embrace his grandson in the future, he must tell him how when he was a cabinet minister, he held a ruler in his hand to kill the enemy from Wenyuan Pavilion and suppress rebellion to the root of Huangcheng.
Perhaps in the future when I write my own biographies, I will also write praises that I am the most daring among the cabinet ministers to serve the country.
"Thanks to Uncle Guo! It's much more meaningful than martyrdom."
Zhu Guozuo glanced at Zhang Gui after thinking this way, he knew that if Zhang Gui hadn't stood firm and refused to surrender, they would not be able to get such benefits when His Majesty's army returned, and perhaps they would have to die to repay the king.
"Your Majesty is welcome!"
At this time, Tian Qi had already walked towards Zhang Gui and others, and Zhang Gui and others also shouted.
Tian Qi saw that Zhang Gui was covered in blood, so he couldn't help helping him up, and asked, "I didn't expect that there would be internal thieves directly attacking the imperial city. It's very difficult for you to defend it, right?"
